Guest Who

Hey there and welcome to my podcast, Guest Who. Like you, I'm a person of many different masks: Nurse anesthetist, rock climber, ultra marathon runner, anime enthusiast, gamer (LoL fanatic), bookworm, and just overall lover of life. But we are first and foremost human beings. And it's time to take the masks off and just be vulnerable. This show features one on one conversations geared toward my guest's professions, passions, philosophies, and lifestyles. A glimpse into their day to day life from their origins, struggles, successes, and goals. We can all learn from each other. Everyone has a story. Tell me yours! New episodes released every Sunday.

Episode 08: John Tessitore

January 02, 2022 • Kevin Maribao/John Tessitore

Kevin chats with John Tessitore about the struggles of growing up with OCD. As John himself puts it, OCD tries to take away the things that you love the most. It is most certainly a terrifying illness for any youth to cope with. Luckily, for John, he had the guidance of an amazing man, John Cleaver Kelley, who unfortunately has since passed. Though the world lost an amazing soul, John Tessitore brought light to the darkness by creating the JCK Foundation in Mr. Kelley's honor. Their goal: "We work together with communities and schools to improve mental wellness and resilience amongst our youth." You can learn more about the foundation via this link (https://jckfoundation.org/our-story-main). I really enjoyed this episode and hope you do as well. Thanks for listening and enjoy!
